Bruenings Septum Knife

Description

Bruenings Septum Knife

The Bruenings septum knife is a straight septal knife named after Wilhelm Brünings, an early ENT innovator. Surgeons use it to incise the lining and cartilage of the nasal septum.

Built for septal incisions

The septum sits deep in a narrow space. So a slim, straight knife helps the surgeon place incisions precisely. The straight line also gives direct feel through the handle.

One size: 15 cm

Our listing gives a single 15 cm straight version, which balances reach with control. Please contact us if you need blade dimensions. Also, we can photograph it beside a ruler so you can compare it with your current knives.

Where it fits in a septoplasty

First, the surgeon incises the lining. Then elevators raise the flaps. Later, the surgeon may use a knife again to cut through cartilage, for example to free a deviated section.

Choosing septal knives

Some surgeons prefer a swivel knife for removing strips of cartilage. However, many also keep a straight fixed knife for incisions. Therefore this knife often sits alongside other septal tools rather than replacing them.

Caring for your Bruenings septum knife

Wash the blade soon after surgery and handle it carefully. Rinse, then dry thoroughly. Finally, sterilize it with a protective guard in place.
